PAW PRINTS IN THE BUTTER

comical verses for cat lovers

In the high street chemist yesterday

Upon a thoughtfully provided chair

Beside a radiator sat

A large and well-contented cat.

The chance was far too good to miss

For one who loves a play on words

So: “Look! A Puss in Boots!” I cried.

The shopping zombies clearly thought me mad.

They turned, as only English people turn,

A blank and even hostile stare

Upon me, standing foolish there

As “Look! A Puss in Boots!” I cried.

But then the creature stretched and purred

And opened amber eyes (that matched its fur).

And then it turned and winked at me.

I’ll swear I saw it wink at me.

As “Look! A Puss in Boots!” I cried.
